Answer to Problem 56P

The object is moving in the negative direction.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  1

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

In the graph segment A-B, the object is moving in a negative direction as the slope of the line segment is decreasing over time.

Conclusion:

The object would be moving in the negative direction.

(b)

To determine

To identify: Whether the object is speeding up or slowing down in graph for segment A to B.

(b)

Answer to Problem 56P

The object is speeding up.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  2

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

In the segment A to B, the object is moving from a less steep position to steeper one, this suggests that the object is speeding up.

Conclusion:

The object is speeding up.

(c)

To determine

To identify: Whether the acceleration of an object is positive or negative for segment A to B.

(c)

Answer to Problem 56P

The acceleration of the object is negative.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  3

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

During the interval of A to B, the graph is going concave downward i.e. slope is going more negative. Thus, the acceleration is negative.

Conclusion:

The acceleration of the object is negative.

(d)

To determine

To identify: Whether the object is moving in positive or negative direction for segment D to E.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object would be moving in a positive direction.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  4

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

For the segment D to E, object’s distance increases with time then the objects moves faster.

In the graph segment D-E, the object is moving in a positive direction as the slope of the line segment is increasing.

Conclusion:

The object would be moving in a positive direction.

(e)

To determine

To identify: Whether the object is speeding up or slowing down for segment D to E.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object is speeding up.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  5

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

For the segment D to E, object’s distance increases with time then the objects moves faster.

The object is moving on the graph from a less steep position to steeper that is slope is increasing with time.This suggests that the object is speeding up.

Conclusion:

The object is speeding up.

(f)

To determine

To identify: Whether the acceleration of an object is positive or negative in the graph segment D to E.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object will accelerate.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  6

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.For the segment D to E, object’s distance increases with time then the objects moves faster.

During the interval D to E, the graph is going concave upward i.e. slope is going more positive. Thus, the acceleration is positive.

Conclusion:

The object will accelerate.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object is not moving in either direction. The object is at rest.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  7

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

For the segment C to D, the object’s distance is constant with time then object remains stationary.

After reading the graph segment C-D, the object is not moving in either direction. Thus, the distance graph is linearly constant.

Conclusion:

The distance between duration of graph segment C-D is constant. Thus, the object will remain at rest.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object is not moving in either direction. The object is at rest.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  8

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.

For the segment C to D, the object’s distance is constant with time then object remains stationary.

After reading the graph segment C-D, the object is not moving in either direction. Thus, the velocity of the object is zero.

Conclusion:

The velocity of the object is zero that is the object is at rest.

Answer to Problem 56P

The object is not moving in either direction. So, the acceleration is zero.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Consider the given graph as shown below.

  Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 2, Problem 56P , additional homework tip  9

For the segment A to B, object is moving constantly and then distance decreases rapidly with time.For the segment C to D, the object’s distance is constant with time then object remains stationary.

After reading the graph segment C-D, the object is not moving in either direction. Thus, the acceleration is zero.

Conclusion:

The object is not moving in either direction. So, the acceleration is zero.
